Which electronic items do you plan to purchase in the next six months?

It’s hardly a secret that we live in an on-line, digital society right now. That’s simply the way it works. We find ourselves right in the middle of a hurry-up, fast-paced lifestyle and we want our information, well, 10 minutes ago would be just fine, thank you.

Our need for speed breaks out onto many platforms, which is what Xoom found out recently in a survey of its customers. Respondents were asked what kind of an electronic device did they intend to purchase in the next six months.

The results showed that exactly half said they would buy either a laptop (29 percent) or a smart phone (21 percent) before six months are up. And another 16 percent said they would purchase a tablet.

And this is important for what reason? One of the biggest and most important is that it makes it easier and faster for FilAms to use Xoom and transfer money back home to their Filipino family, friends and loved ones.

Xoom’s online money transfer to the Philippines has always been quick and easy, and now it’s even quicker with the emergence of the Xoom Money Transfer App, available for Android and iOS devices. So as it turns out, those who are in the market for smart phones really are pretty smart themselves.
